How to pick the right jewellery and wear sneakers at formal events

I’ve always hated wearing jewellery, but that makes my look feel bare and incomplete. What can I substitute for jewellery with?

—Tusharika, Mumbai

Hair accessories like hair bands and pins, hats and scarves are good substitutes to amp up a look without jewellery. You could also opt for clothing with detailing on the neckline and sleeve hems to eliminate the use of jewellery.

A good pair of white sneakers is acceptable in formal and informal settings. Navy blues and neutral browns are also good colours for a formal sneaker outfit. You could opt for a pant suit and pair it with sneakers.
